Stag beetles Lucanus cervus

If you’ve been following me on Twitter or Facebook you will know I have had stag beetles Lucanus cervus in my garden recently. Ive had both stag beetle and lesser stag beetle, but I’ll cover the photos of the former from Friday in this post.

2 males were found in a bucket in the garden.

One managed to flip itself over (something they seem to do a a fair bit!) so I got a quick underside shot before flipping him back the right way up.
